Now Lin Chen is at level fifty-seven, and Fang You is at level fifty-nine.
When Lin Chen arrived at the scene, quite a few people were already present, and even several mentors had come.
Liu Gu didn't come, but Bai Ling was present.
The Red Feather Chicken by her side had already reached Level 12, and two days ago she successfully contracted it. Lin Chen was there at that moment, which made him a bit speechless.
Because during Bai Ling's contract, the Red Feather Chicken truly manifested the legendary Phoenix shadow.
Normally, Spirit Beasts that show such shadows, although not guaranteed to reach Immortal Beast level, typically achieve Divine Beast level without issue.
Seeing the Phoenix shadow means its Phoenix bloodline is exceptionally pure.
"The teacher promised me that when the chicken reaches Level 15 and awakens Skill 3, I will be allowed to take the Path to Immortality." Bai Ling looked at the Path to Immortality with immense anticipation.
Previously, Bai Ling only sought peace without disaster or illness, but now her mindset hasn't changed—she just understands that to be peaceful and steady, her own strength must be robust.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen began to slowly ascend.
He stopped at level fifty-seven. Xiaobai was full of confidence this time, and then both man and beast stepped onto level fifty-eight, sparking discussions below.
"How long do you think Lin Chen will take?"
"Less than three minutes, surely, he is Lin Chen after all."
Some were expectant, while others hoped Lin Chen would fail and the longer it took, the better.
Because in the casino, seventy percent of the bets were against Lin Chen succeeding.
As the seconds ticked away, the three minutes passed swiftly, but Lin Chen and his team still hadn't awoken.
"What's happening, it's already been ten minutes."
"Back then Fang You passed this stage in eight minutes."
"That's normal. Fang You trained diligently, either battling or on his way to battle; it's normal for Lin Chen to be lacking in comparison."
...
"...Try again!"
In level fifty-eight, Lin Chen was extremely excited.
With Xiaobai having mastered the Divine Enlightenment Level Soul-Calming Hoof and Tier Three Barbaric Bloodline, facing level fifty-eight was actually no big pressure.
The main reason is that Lin Chen found something interesting here; surprisingly, level fifty-eight housed a pair of combination monsters.
This pair consisted of one ranged and one melee, but their synergy was far superior to Xiaobai and Xiao Hong's.
Hence, Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry to defeat them but planned to learn from them, perhaps even teach on the spot.
"Xiao Hong, did you see? They've keenly detected your weakness. Whether through skill or combat style, they're intentionally or unintentionally moving toward you." Lin Chen pointed out.
Xiao Hong understood.
This battle was very enlightening for Xiao Hong. The opponent's backfield spirit beast was a Dark Attribute mage spirit beast, and every time it helped their frontline forces counter Xiaobai's attacks.
If Xiaobai's strength wasn't solid enough, it would be very troublesome.
After fifteen minutes of grinding, Lin Chen finally said, "Xiaobai, finish them off."
Xiaobai nodded, activated Tier Three Barbaric Bloodline, and as he ran, the Soul-Calming Hoof: Illusion Spirit was unleashed.
Lin Chen also watched in anticipation towards the Demon Beast. Xiaobai's previous opponents were too weak to withstand the full-power version of the Soul-Calming Hoof.
Now this Demon Beast is three levels higher than Xiaobai, but the defense level of Demon Beasts after level fifty-one increases exponentially.
A green Niu Niu illusion spirit quickly chased and rammed the Demon Beast.
The Demon Beast originally intended to leap up, but suddenly seemed as if its feet were grabbed by something...
"Could it be...." Lin Chen swallowed nervously.
The Soul-Calming Hoof has many effects.
First is stun.
Second is explosion.
Third is spiritual exhaustion.
Could this fourth effect be....
Restraint?!
Lin Chen pondered that it was very likely, so he shouted to Xiaobai, ready to perform the Thousand Shadows Unification, saying, "Want to go at it again..."
But before he could finish the word "combine," Xiaobai, like lightning, smashed the opponent's head right off onto the ground....
The Tier Three Barbaric Bloodline's Thousand Shadows Unification truly unified fifteen residual shadows, not something easily stopped.
"Moo!"
Xiaobai mooed, meaning next time, say it earlier.
"..."
.....
"Awake!"
"Haha, certainly didn't make it. Lin Chen's expression seems a bit upset."
"Hey, ultimately it's a woman causing him trouble. I once had high hopes for Lin Chen."
"How so?"
"Isn't there a lovely girl named Bai Ling under mentor Liu Gu? Lin Chen must surely be enamored, I even suspect that unicorn might be Lin Chen's. To win the lady's smile, he loans beast like offering a Buddha."
"So much flattery?"
People were astonished, but they were far from Bai Ling, so she didn't hear.
Nonetheless, as they watched, Lin Chen led Xiaobai and Xiao Hong onto the fifty-eight level steps, and unexpectedly, the person who previously slandered Lin Chen said:
"No worries, it took almost half an hour at fifty-eight, no chance for fifty-nine, that's safe."
Many nodded, and a few students who bet Lin Chen would win began to panic.
Nearby, Daoist Zhang heard these students' words, and he squinted with a smile.
Others might not understand Lin Chen, but he knew him somewhat.
Judging by Lin Chen's demeanor, it didn't look like a lack of strength.
"What is this kid up to?" Daoist Zhang wondered.
Under everyone's witness, Lin Chen rested for less than three minutes before starting again, surprising everyone slightly with the speed.
Except this time awakened far beyond their expectations...
